A space filler

Assignments are funny things. often times I find that they are things I really don't want to part take in. I feel as if they rule my life constricting my actions, putting me in a box, a wee small box, and the only way out is the light at the end of the tunnel which involves you doing the assignment to get there. I want to break the box! I want that to be my method of escape, because I know deep down that the light at the end of the assignment tunnel just leads to more assignments and another box with a dim light at the end of the tunnel. I know that part of wanting to go to college is wanting to do assignments, but screw that. I came here for understanding, and it is evident to me that I can't get anything I need, anything essential to life if I stay here. That said, college sure is a way to get a job. woo! then i get to be put in another box called being dependent on money and an unreliable economy. I joke about running, but if you find me to be missing one day, maybe... just maybe I'm gone.

Truly,
Yours

Hail to the Cheif

I was so happy to hear that Obama was elected. I was one of the people who rushed Franklin St. The Inauguration made the feeling even better, it solidified it. For the first time I can remember, I believe in our President as both an honest and upright men. He has the genes of our founding father's coursing through his veins; a man for the people, by the people. This does not mean he will not abuse his power, or screw up. It also does not mean that bad things don't happen in the world. Could Bush have stopped Hurricane Katrina? No, but he could have tried acting more efficiently...maybe? I have high hopes for the American future, hopefully soon we will see that gas and fossil fuels and our consumption are crippling the earth, and we will find a way to live better. Aretha Franklin was kick ass. And my favorite quote was "You will be measured by what you can build, not by what you can destroy."
~Barak Obama

Blogging

To be quite honest, I was and am skeptical about using the internet as a learning tool. Specifically blogging, I never thought for a second that I'd find myself having to write or just writing a blog. Things don't always turn out the way you plan them. For the most part I find the internet to be a leech of time and energy, I kind of wish that everyone would get some balls and turn the electricity off, to see how long we'd last. I'm just an idealistic pig though.
